YEAR-ROUND
Supporting Local Artists
Precursor Residency
Cluster offers a variety of programming sporadically throughout the year including concerts, workshops and more.
Cluster is committed to supporting the community of artists in our hometown of Winnipeg, MB through presentation opportunities, project development consultations, technical support, studio visits, documentation support, and building network connections between emerging artists and technical professionals. If you are interested in getting in touch with us, please reach out.
The Precursor Residency is an opportunity for emerging sound artists to develop and showcase new works as part of the Cluster: New Music + Integrated Arts Festival. Supported by Precursor Productions—a renowned recording studio and audio post-production facility in Winnipeg—this residency provides participants with the tools, expertise, and mentorship needed to realize their creative vision.
Participants will work directly with Andrew Yankiwski, founder of Precursor Productions and head engineer, whose decades of experience span music, film/TV, video games, and more. Andrew’s incredible knowledge of audio recording history and contemporary digital audio production processes support artists as they explore and refine their work in the studio. From experimental soundscapes to interdisciplinary projects, residents will work directly with Andrew at Precursor’s studio facilities leading up to the festival
